Items that are core bug reports should go to
        http://tcl.sourceforge.net/
or http://tktoolkit.sourceforge.net/ (Tk stuff)

Items specific to bugs in modules should go to their respective
module dev homes. Only those items that relate to (un)install
or related module groups issues should go to the ActiveState
bug db at http://bugs.activestate.com/.

Of course, you can have as many versions installed simultaneously
as you want - but only the last version will be associated with
double-click on .tcl. You can also get an older version of 8.4
installed, since the 8.5 version we have is not actually that
fresh.

When reporting a bug, provide a reproducible script.
